Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model patent belongs to the field of industrial silicon production technology, specifically relating to a lightweight industrial silicon tapping machine. Background Technology
[0002] In the process of tapping silicon metal from furnaces in the industry, the furnace bore needs to be opened first. Currently, the methods for opening the furnace bore include rock drilling, impact, and arc burning. Most companies use a handheld arc burning device for manual burning, which involves a circular track suspended above the furnace bore, and the arc burning device is manually pushed along the track to open the furnace bore. A few companies purchase complete sets of integrated furnace bore opening / closing machines. However, the use of integrated machines is not yet mature in the industry. They are expensive, heavy, slow in execution, and cannot sense the internal state of the furnace bore, resulting in defects such as untimely action and broken carbon rods. Manual operation, on the other hand, is extremely difficult due to track deformation caused by high-temperature radiation, making it very labor-intensive to move the arc burning device manually. Utility Model Content
[0003] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a lightweight industrial silicon tapping machine with a simple structure, which reduces the labor intensity of operators and has high operating efficiency.

The double-row annular track is fixed around the submerged arc furnace. A U-shaped hanger is fixed on the mobile trolley. The two ends of the hanger are respectively fixed diagonally on the mobile trolley. An I-beam rail facing the submerged arc furnace is fixed below the horizontal section of the hanger. A monorail trolley is adapted on the I-beam rail. A rotating lifting ring is rotatably hinged to the lower part of the monorail trolley. The bottom end of the rotating lifting ring is rotatably hinged to an arc burn-through device.
[0005] Furthermore, multiple track wheels are rotatably provided at the lower end of the mobile trolley, and the track wheels are rolledly connected to the double-row annular track. A driven sprocket is installed on the axle of one of the track wheels. A drive motor is installed on the mobile trolley, and a drive sprocket is installed at the output end of the drive motor. The drive sprocket and the driven sprocket are connected by a transmission chain.
[0006] Furthermore, a fixing plate is fixed on the upper surface of the arc burn-through device along its length, and a plurality of lifting holes are opened on the fixing plate along its length, through which the rotating rod of the rotating ring moves.
[0007] Furthermore, the rotating ring includes two symmetrically arranged "U"-shaped connectors, with through holes in the horizontal sections of the two connectors. The two ends of the connecting rod movably pass through the through holes of the two connectors, and baffles are fixed at both ends of the connecting rod.

[0010] Advantages of this utility model:
[0011] This utility model discloses a lightweight industrial silicon tapping machine with a simple structure and easy implementation. It combines the advantages of manual hand-held operation and automated mechanized tapping operation in the industrial silicon industry, and is more in line with the actual operational needs of the industry. First, the manual dragging is upgraded to electric walking, that is, the driving motor drives the moving trolley to move around the submerged arc furnace along a double-row circular track to reach the furnace hole that needs to be opened, reducing the labor intensity of the operator. Second, the cost of this utility model tapping machine is low, only 2% of that of the integrated machine; it is lightweight, only 25% of that of the integrated machine; its execution efficiency is not limited by mechanical movements, and its operation efficiency is high. The handle of the hand-held arc burner is manually pushed to open the furnace hole, maintaining the human perception of the burner and eliminating the delay or carbon rod breakage caused by the signal feedback deviation of the integrated machine.

[0017] The present invention will be further described in detail below through embodiments.
[0018] Example: Figure 1-3 As shown, a lightweight industrial silicon tapping machine includes a double-row annular track 1 and a mobile trolley 2 that travels along the double-row annular track 1. The double-row annular track 1 is fixed around the submerged arc furnace 3. A U-shaped hanger 4 is fixed on the mobile trolley 2. The two ends of the hanger 4 are fixed diagonally on the mobile trolley 2 to avoid obstruction and facilitate the rotation of the arc burner 8. An I-beam rail 5 facing the submerged arc furnace 3 is fixed below the horizontal section of the hanger 4. A monorail trolley 6 is adapted on the I-beam rail 5. A rotating lifting ring 7 is rotatably hinged to the lower part of the monorail trolley 6. The bottom end of the rotating lifting ring 7 is rotatably hinged to the arc burner 8. When it is necessary to replace the carbon rod burned through by the arc burner 8, the operator holds the handle of the arc burner 8 and rotates the arc burner 8 until it is perpendicular to the I-beam rail 5, and then replaces the carbon rod.
[0019] Multiple track wheels 9 are rotatably mounted on the lower end of the mobile trolley 2. The track wheels 9 are tumblingly connected to the double-row circular track 1. A driven sprocket 10 is mounted on the axle of one of the track wheels 9. A drive motor 11 is mounted on the mobile trolley 2. A drive sprocket 12 is mounted on the output end of the drive motor 11. The drive sprocket 12 and the driven sprocket 10 are connected by a transmission chain 13. The mobile trolley 2 is driven by the drive motor 11 to move around the submerged arc furnace 3 along the double-row circular track 1 to the furnace eye that needs to be opened. This realizes the upgrade from manual dragging to electric movement, reducing the labor intensity of the operators. At the same time, the double-row circular track 1 is located below the furnace eye, avoiding the problem of track deformation caused by high temperature radiation.
[0020] A fixing plate 14 is fixed on the upper surface of the arc burn-through device 8 along its length. Several lifting holes 141 are opened on the fixing plate 14 along its length. The rotating rod 74 of the rotating ring 7 passes through the lifting holes 141 to ensure that the arc burn-through device 8 can swing up and down around the rotating rod 74, thereby aligning it with the furnace eye.
[0021] The rotating ring 7 includes two symmetrically arranged "U"-shaped connectors 71. Through holes 711 are provided in the horizontal sections of the two connectors 71. The two ends of the connecting rod 72 movably pass through the through holes 711 of the two connectors 71, and baffles 73 are fixed at both ends of the connecting rod 72 to ensure that the two connectors 71 can rotate relative to each other. An insertion hole 712 is provided at the end of the connector 71 away from the through hole 711. A rotating rod 74 is movably inserted into the insertion hole 712 of one connector 71, and a screw 75 is movably inserted into the insertion hole 712 of the other connector 71.
[0022] Two connecting plates 15 are fixed on the lower surface of the monorail 6. A screw 75 passes through the two connecting plates 15, and a nut 76 is screwed to the tip of the screw 75. A limit plate 77 is fixed at one end of the rotating rod 74, and a locking hole 741 is opened at the other end of the rotating rod 74. A locking rod 78 is movably inserted into the locking hole 741.
[0023] Working principle: The drive motor 11 drives the moving trolley 2 to the furnace eye of the electric arc furnace 3 and stops. Then, the operator holds the handle of the electric arc burner 8 and moves the electric arc burner 8 back and forth on the I-beam rail 5 to open the furnace eye. This maintains the perception of the burner and eliminates the delay or carbon rod breakage caused by the signal feedback deviation of the integrated machine. After the furnace is unloaded, the drive motor 11 drives the moving trolley 2 to leave the working position. This utility model has a simple structure and is easy to implement.
[0024] The above are preferred embodiments of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
